Inevitably some music must lack a named composer. This is more obviously the case with traditional music, which here includes: Chomincianmento di Gioia: salterello, Estampie from the 13th century, Lamento di Tristano: La Rotta, A la Nana is a Spanish Jewish lullaby, and the final Guardame las vacas a Spanish cowherd's song, which is the subject of so many later sets of lute and keyboard variations in 16th century Spain.

Guardame Las Vacas (Watch the Cows) was actually an extremely popular medieval romance throughout Europe. Many composers wrote their own version -- especially the Spanish vihuelists: Alonso Mudarra, Luys de Narvaez and Enriquez de Valderrabano. Mudarra iincludes three versions of Guardame Las Vacas in his tres libros... para vihuela.

Guardame Las Vacas is written in an Italian musical form known as a romance or Romanesca. A Romanesca is composed of a sequence of four chords with a repeating bass, which provide the groundwork for variations and improvisation with differencias (variations) on the theme.
